L 1 | Chaturanga can be a useful addition for those seeking more understanding of the technique and conditioning required to build the strength and mobility for this foundational skill in dance and yoga. Many skills, such as bent-arm balances, push-ups, and various acro dance skills require Chaturanga for safety, comfort, and progression. Many of the exercises in this class are performed from the knees, which may not be right for all.
